Hi, uhm, I just had something that he, that Bill just said to me that I think is critical, uhm, to discuss with you and I, I don't wanna help them with the stock until they pay big time and I want them to be pathetically in need of us. So, that's why I'm not helping them yet. Uhm, but I'll talk to you shortly. Bye. Deleted. I've got something very exciting to talk to you about. I know that you're in the karate thing I want you to know I went all the way to black belt with two grandchildren so I know how exciting it is what you're going through. Uhm, however, when you get a chance give me a call I think you're gonna be as excited as I am, uhm, about a, a way in which I, I structured something that, uhm, could be a real win, win for everybody, especially you and me. Thanks. Deleted. [Background Noise] RA: CHS : RA: How are you? I know you're in [UI]. Good, yes. I saw that you missed, I, I missed a few calls. Uhm ... So,_don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. I, I just wanted to tell you what I structured. It, it you know, I didn 't structure it but, I framed uhm, an idea that I wanted to run by you. Okay. ' Cause I'm seeing him again at two o'clock. Uhhuh . I said to him, I said listen, ah, what do you really need, you know, he and then he, he told me he needed four hundred and twenty thousand dollars to get all of those, ah, those ' D' diamonds. Right. Shipped out. He needed four twenty that was the number okay? Uhhuh.

RA:

Ah, and, and ah, I said look, I said we'll give you four fifty. I said but, Robert gets a free, free a six to eight carat 'D'. Uhhuh.

CHS: RA:

Uhm, I, I said and, uh, we get about twenty to thirty million dollars worth of collateral.
Right. And a return on the four hundred thousand of about thirty five percent and that's in thirty days. That' s spectacular. And he said, he said, uhm, I' ll give him a free diamond. Hmm mmm. I said yeah, that has a value to him, that adds to the thirty five percent so he ' s really gettin' like a fifty percent return. Hmm mmm. I said, and but, the most important thing if I want it collateralized and I said now here ' s the kicker. I said, and in addition to that collateral we want one million shares of the company. That we'll split five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, uhm, as additional collateral and as a retainer for us to work with you. That sounds reasonable. Is that or, or are we doin' good so far? Yeah, that sounds spectacular. Okay, I just don't know. Uhm, if I'm spending money I don't have .. But, I'm just [UI] Yeah, I know. [OV] You know, [UI] problem. We can get, we can get, we can get that done. 3
